Junior Teams
The Program Junior Teams program allows young researchers to assemble a small team of 3 to 5 people to work on a scientific project.
The goal is for this junior team to gain experience inproject managementand teamleadership, includingsupervisingone or more master’s or thesis students working on the topic.
Award recipients receive an operating grant of up to 30,000 euros, which is primarily used to cover internship stipends for master’s students, as well as fees for research support staff (e.g., clinical research associates, engineers), travel and fieldwork expenses, and operating costs and laboratory equipment.
